Practice question
The parties disagree over the meaning and implementation of their Annex VII award. One requests a decision from the tribunal that made it; the other says any such request is necessarily an impermissible appeal. Which is correct under Article 12?
- Every interpretation request is an appeal
- Either party may submit that controversy to the original tribunal; interpretation or implementation is distinct from an agreed appellate procedure.
- Only a nonparty can request interpretation
- The award’s language can never be interpreted
- A private operator may rewrite the award
